Event Description

Join us for the symposium “New Frontiers in Fusion Energy Enabled by AI and High-Performance Computing - Honoring the Scientific Accomplishments of Professor William Tang” as we celebrate the groundbreaking contributions of Professor William Tang. A visionary in the integration of theoretical physics with computational science, Professor Tang has been instrumental in advancing fusion energy research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and on a national scale. From his leadership roles as Head of PPPL’s Theory Department and Chief Scientist to his pivotal guidance of the DOE’s SciDAC Program and the FESAC Fusion Simulation Project, his work has redefined the role of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing in tackling the challenges of fusion energy. This event will honor his legacy and explore how his innovations continue to shape the future of clean energy solutions.
